Boxing Day

boxing day would be a  good   day to relax
and put your feet up on a chair
 but the children come running in
all upset that
the bits to  their game are no longer there
the batteries to their new  toys  have  all gone flat
and  ask can you remember  where  they put their  new hat
for all the joys of christmas things end  up back in the box
so  then they decide to build with lego blocks.


I always wondered why boxing day was called boxing day, I have joked since my kids were 
very young that it was because all the batteries go flat, the bits go mising from games they 
forget where they put theire new stuff and most things end up back in the box, well untill you 
can go and get new batteries when the shops re open, Oh what such fun, I love christmas 
and I made sure I went and got more batteries before they ran out this time  LOL, have a 
happy new year every one  love from diane

Smile~A different side of you dear lady~and I really liked this display of humor and humity~for we are all but spirits in a material as the Police once sang~and yet we always remember as Christians~we may be in this world~marked by its marks~but we are not of the world! Smile~sounds as if "Your Christmas" went well dear lady!~"My Love To You All, Always & Forever, John!"~"Happy New Year Everyone!":)

I never fully understood boxing day..I don't know of any other place that celebrate boxing day other than Jamaica but I may be wrong. Thanks for the memory.
